Football Outlook, Part 3

Running Back:
Here's an interesting stat from last year. Seven players rushed for more than 100 yards, and nobody of them ran the ball more than 59 times. The key to the running game this year will be health. We have two solid running backs in Alex Allen (who was granted a sixth year of eligibility) and Dale Martin.

Linebacker:
Another strong point for the defense. Brian Wagner, who led the team in tackles last year as a freshman, will be alongside seniors Mike Thomas and Sean Fobbs.

Special Teams:
Sophomore T.J. Marchese has looked good in practice this year. Even though Igor Iveljic and Branko Rogovic return to this year's squad, my bet is on Marchese getting both kickoff and field goal privileges...at least until he becomes as unbelievably inconsistent as Iveljic and Rogovic. Zack Campbell will probably be punting again this year.
